Website Migration

Q: Why do I have to move my website? What does website migration involve?
A: When your present web hosting provider can no longer meet the demands of your website, or when you face continuous network downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the help desk staff to reply to you, it might be smart to change your hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your websites together with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Veewebs Inc, we understand that this can be difficult & time–consuming. That is the reason why we’ll perform all that for you for free!Our highly qualified technical team members will transfer your site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our techs have a lot of experience migrating web sites and can handle everything – from a normal WordPress–based weblog or Joomla™ CMS–driven web site, to an extremely complex, custom–built app.

Q: Web site migration sounds like lots of work. How long can it take?
A: We strive to accomplish all website migrations as fast as possible. Even so, we do not have a set time frame for website migrations. There are various aspects that you have to take into consideration – the sheer size of your site and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We always try to accomplish each migration in under 48 hours. With less sizeable sites, our staff usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: My personal privacy is vital to me. What information do you require?
A: We do not gather any sensitive info. We will need, however, the login info for your current hosting account and the name of the site that you want to move.
-
Q: I give you access to delicate info. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: In order for us to start the migration of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose precisely the same details you have given to your previous host. We’ve also got a very strict Privacy Policy, which specifies how private info is handled.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my website?
A: Your website will continue to work just like it did before with your former web hosting provider. After we have finished the transfer, your web site will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we’ll ask you to preview it. If it is working properly, all you will have to do is change the name server resource records for your domain name. Your site will be transferred to us without any downtime whatsoever.

Q: Will my present web hosting provider have to do anything?
A: While we move your web content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will not contact them in any way.

Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: Yup. We support all traditional Linux–driven hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–driven hosting platforms, because we don’t provide Windows hosting solutions ourselves.In addition, we don’t support proprietary website creation and management user interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
